Without knowing anything about your machine, this will be very generic. The info above that I quoted is from that link. It is a list of different options for your ALC883 chipset. What you can do is find something in that list closest to your machine and try the following:

2. Add this line to the end of the list and place # in front of the current last line of that file (so it will be ignored)
options snd-hda-intel model=xxxxxx

3. I used "xxxxxx" because that is what you will replace in that line with each attempt from the quoted info above. For example, if you had an Acer you could start your first try with "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" and try different ones until you get the one that works.

4. Each time you try one, save the file and restart. If it works, great, if not, move to the next closest. Try them all even if your brand is different than the one listed.

Can I eliminate the branded ones listed above since mine is an assembled PC?

It's not terribly difficult, but yes it takes some time for sure. You could eliminate whatever you want, but you could also find that one that is =dell, for example, may work for yours even though it is not branded. There is also the "auto" option at the end of the list and it's pretty much just trial and error. Sorry I can't give more specific info, but each machine is different and the possibilities are any on that list.

Use the alsa-info-script to provide detailed information.
Run this command in a terminal:

Thanks ...I am still sort of struggling with this driver...lidex I will also post the result of the command u have given...Meanwhile if the results below would be of any help in sorting out the problem , pl do let me know

I tried to run alsi website commends which shows that No soundcard detected. But it was workinf well some months ago in Ubuntu 11. But now i downgraded to remove this problem but still it does not work.

From vikrang suggestion, I reached at point 6 but after that i did not understood what to do?
